Chapter 77: Nail Extraction
The news that Jian Mo had created a new medicine spread farther and farther, and many people came to see him.
Treating abscesses was one thing, but most of the people who came wanted to see what the Riverside Tribe had become. If they could exchange some things, it would be even better.
In the gathering era, no one was very busy, and everyone could still squeeze out during the busy time.
That afternoon, Jian Mo went out to gather food and came back. The orcs who were patrolling the tribe told him that a group of people from the Xiongying tribe came and wanted to see him for abscesses, so they were waiting at the clinic.
When Jian Mo went to the clinic, there were indeed many people in the clinic.
Ban Ming sat in the middle of the crowd, introducing the Riverside Tribe to the people of the Xiongying Tribe. His sweetheart, Amon, sat opposite him. The two smiled at each other after talking for a few words, and even the people around them couldn't wipe away their smiles.
Jian Mo knocked on the door and went in, and they came back to their senses.
Ban Ming happily introduced Jian Mo: "Brother Jian Mo, Amon and the others want to come to you to see abscesses."
Jian Mo: "No problem, who is sick?"
An orc stood up in the crowd: "Me."
Jian Mo: "Let me see, where do you have an abscess?"
Beastman: "My back. Doctor Jian Mo, how much do I want to pay for your treatment now?"
Jian Mo asked him to take off his robe and then carefully checked: "For abscesses, you don't need to pay anything. Tell me after the treatment. As long as you feel the treatment is fine."
The abscess on the beastman's back had grown larger. He lowered his head and grinned as Jian Mo pressed on him: "Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo."
Jian Mo: "You're welcome. Well, this is just an ordinary small abscess. I'll give you another tube of medicated oil later. Just go back and apply it. Come back to see me the day after tomorrow."
The medicated oil is extracted from spring thunder eggs. It contains active ingredients, and the efficacy is not as strong as using spring thunder eggs and white clay alone.
Jian Mo feels that the medicated oil is very useful, but how effective it is still depends on the evaluation of more patients. He has no say.
After Jian Mo applied medicine to the orc, the orc put on his clothes and said, "Doctor Jian Mo, I have a friend, a orc from the tribe next door to us. His claws are festering. Can he come to you for treatment?"
Jian Mo put away the used instruments and asked, "How did they become festering? Is he sick or accidentally injured?"
The orc was not sure: "Should he be accidentally injured? I only know that he is injured, and I haven't asked in detail."
Jian Mo said, "Then let him come to me. I have to see him to know whether he can be cured."
The orc: "Okay, I'll ask someone to tell him after I go back."
Jian Mo didn't take this matter to heart. Recently, too many people have consulted him for treatment. Some of them will come later, and some just disappear. They may have healed on their own, or they may have asked others to deal with it or they are used to it.
Jian Mo's daily routine was still the same as usual. He went out to collect herbs with others most of the time, and went out alone with Wu Jiong a few times.
Occasionally, he would ask Ye Luo and the others to go out to collect some herbs.
Just when he was about to forget about the beastman with pus-filled claws, the other party and his tribe suddenly found him.
The beastman introduced himself: "Doctor Jian Mo, my name is Ruda, I am a beastman from the Haizuo tribe, Jiuheng asked me to come over and take a look."
Jian Mo did not remember who "Jiuheng" was for a moment, and only reacted after hearing that he was a beastman from the Xiongying tribe: "Are you the beastman with the injured claw?"
Ruda smiled bitterly: "Yes, that's me."
Jian Mo: "Let me see, which claw is injured, can you change back to beast form?"
Ruda shook his head: "It hurts too much, I can't change, can I change into human form? My injured claw is my right hind claw, which is my right foot."
Jian Mo: "Let me see."
Ruda took off his beast leather sandals in front of Jian Mo.
Jian Mo saw at a glance that the big toe of his right foot was black, and the skin and flesh where the toenail was located had shrunk a little, and the pus and blood underneath could be clearly seen.
In addition to being black, there was also a strange smell, which didn't look very good.
Jian Mo: "Wait a minute, I'll take a closer look."
Ruda nodded quickly: "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Jian Mo."
As he spoke, Jian Mo found a mask, gloves, etc., put them on carefully, and took saline water to disinfect.
He only had saline water on hand, so he had to make do with it. Fortunately, disinfecting the epidermis would not cause too much pain.
He observed Ruda's expression while operating, and his movements were fast and light.
After a look, Jian Mo was basically sure that the nail bed was dead.
Jian Mo said to Ruda: "In this case, we may have to pull out your nails, clean out the pus and blood inside, and then let new nails grow."
Ruda gasped and said: "Do you really have to pull it out?"
Jian Mo touched his foot with tweezers: "You see, the flesh and blood have atrophied, and the pus inside is serious. There is no other way. If you don't pull it out, it may never heal, and even the whole foot may have problems."
Ruda said bitterly: "We have The elders also suggested that I unplug it, but it hurts too much. I can't get off. " Jane Mo :
" I have anesthesia here, it should be better. " Da and his companions looked at each other. Both were scared by this description. Jian Mo looked at them and said, "If you think about it, you decide to call me again. " Taking the consequences clearly again . Jian Mo told them that they would only seek treatment if they could accept the worst possible outcome, lest something really happened and lead to hostility between the two people or even the two tribes, which would have serious consequences. Ruda had been troubled by the abscess on his toenails for a long time, and now he finally had a chance to solve it. Ruda gritted his teeth and finally agreed to Jian Mo's plan, and said in front of his companions that he would never resent Jian Mo no matter what.
Ruda took a deep breath and said, "I really can't stand it. Even if I die, I have to deal with this toe."
Jian Mo saw that he was scared enough, and comforted him, "It's not that serious. I just said the worst result. Accidents usually don't happen."
Ruda showed a crying smile: "Thank you for your trouble, Doctor Jian Mo."
Jian Mo: "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's prepare today."
Jian Mo called Wu Jiong to help, and soon numbed Ruda with anesthetics.
Nail extraction is a simple minor operation. Jian Mo has done it on kittens and puppies. If it were on Earth, local anesthesia would be enough. There is
no corresponding injection here. Jian Mo can only let Ruda sleep for a while, and then deal with his toe.
Despite this, Jian Mo only spent more than ten minutes to gently separate his toenails, completely separate the entire toenail, rinse the pus and blood, and then bandage it.
Originally, he should have applied medicine, but he didn't have the right medicine.
The risk of using herbal medicine is too great, Jian Mo can only simply bandage it and let Ruda's own immunity take care of it.
External application is impossible, and the risk of herbal medicine for such a large wound is too high. However, drinking anti-inflammatory herbal medicine is okay. Jian Mo estimated that such a small operation would not be a big problem.
Ruda woke up at night, and his companion had been with him.
Seeing that he woke up, his companion followed Jian Mo's instructions and came to call Jian Mo overnight.
Jian Mo put on his clothes and went to see Ruda accompanied by Wu Jiong.
As soon as they met, Ruda moved his toes and said, "Doctor Jian Mo, my toes are healed. I feel very relaxed. It doesn't hurt when I bend my toes anymore."
Jian Mo: "That's because there's no pressure from the pus. Don't move it for now."
Ruda smiled foolishly: "Okay."
Jian Mo checked it out: "It looks good. It wasn't a big problem. Don't worry."
Ruda smiled even more foolishly: "Then you scared me before pulling out the toenail."
Jian Mo: "You have to explain all the accidents clearly, otherwise, if something happens, the consequences will be serious."
After the examination, Jian Mo said: "It should be fine. You guys have a good sleep here. I'll come over tomorrow morning. If anything happens in the middle of the night, you can call me."
Ruda and his companions agreed.
The next morning, the first thing Jian Mo did after getting up and washing up was to go see Ruda.
After a whole night of recovery, Ruda's condition seemed to be better, and there was no sign of inflammation or swelling on his toes.
Jian Mo didn't know whether it was because the temperature was low in spring or the orcs' healing ability was really that good, but seeing this, he felt relieved for Ruda. He was in
such a good condition, so he wouldn't have to suffer so much in the future.
Ruda was also proud of his condition. He had made all kinds of mental preparations and could accept all misfortunes. Unexpectedly, in the end, it didn't hurt or itch to press the nail, which was much better than the previous time when his nail was damaged.
After he expressed his gratitude to Jian Mo again and again, he asked happily: "Doctor Jian Mo, what reward do you want?"
Jian Mo: "This is just a small question. Just give me something of the same value as the three rolls of cloth. It doesn't have to be cloth. I like other things more than cloth."
Ruda: "No problem, I'll ask someone from my tribe to help deliver it."
Jian Mo: "No rush, you can send it when you get better. You don't need to stay here in your condition. You can go back after taking the medicine."
Ruda nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo!"
Ruda was so relieved. After returning to the tribe, he only rested for five days. He brought supplies and came to the Riverside Tribe with his companions to thank Jian Mo: "Doctor Jian Mo, I gave you You brought eggs and meat. "
Jian Mo: "Thank you, how are your toes?" "
Ruda: "Much better, and a little nail has grown."
Ruda showed Jian Mo the eggs and meat in the basket: "This is the meat of the arrow bone beast, it tastes good."
Jian Mo knew that they used salt to fish for the arrow bone beast in winter, but he didn't expect Ruda to bring it to him: "Isn't the arrow bone beast particularly difficult to catch?"
Ruda grinned: "I know how to make traps, and I can catch this kind of beast with one shot. Doctor Jian Mo, try it, if you like it, you can ask someone to tell me, and I will send it to you later."
Jian Mo: "Thank you."
After looking at the meat and eggs in the basket, Jian Mo soon found a bag of seeds wrapped in cloth underneath.
He was a little surprised and looked up at Ruda.
Ruda showed a somewhat smug smile: "I saw that you planted something by the river, Doctor Jian Mo. You should like this wild vegetable."
Jian Mo looked at the sesame-sized seeds: "Is this a wild vegetable seed?"
Ruda nodded: "It's a particularly tender wild vegetable. When it grows up, Doctor Jian Mo, you can pull out its young shoots and eat them. It's best to eat it before the leaves turn green. It's most delicious then. You can eat it after blanching it in hot water. When it's bigger, it will taste bitter and not so good."
Jian Mo listened to him talk so logically, and his heart moved: "Do you grow things there too?"
Ruda: "Yes, but not as much as you do here, and we don't specially use walls or fences to enclose the land. We just plant it in front of and behind the house."
Jian Mo: "We only grow delicious crops, right?"
Ruda nodded.
Jian Mo thought about it and asked him: "Have you ever eaten or seen a crop with a special fragrance?"
Jian Mo wanted to ask Ruda about the news of scallions. If there were similar plants, spring should be the season for scallions to grow.
He searched for charcoal and wood, and drew a picture of scallions with a few simple strokes: "This is the crop, we call it scallions."
